Thank you Daddy
Daddy,
A great many thanks for all you have done
Without you my life would not have begun

You have helped to guide me my whole life through
We have shared both the good times and the bad
But most of all, thank you for being my dad
I love you
Daddy,I call you at least 10 times a day!
sometimes just to vent or sometime just to pray.
When we prayed together always felt better.
